After long years of issuing fatwas that legalize terrorist operations that shed the blood of the innocent and sabotage countries and destabilize them by glorifying terrorist leaders and spreading sectarian conflicts, Yusuf al-Qaradawi, former chairman of the International Union of Muslim Scholars, is plotting another scheme, pretending to be a “peacemaker.”

The 29-year-old theologian has been recently trying to show up as a religious reformer as he began preaching about the necessity of rapprochement between various sects and denouncing intolerance.

Over the past decades, Qaradawi’s fatwas have spread to the rest of the world, reaching the cores of terrorist organizations and groups to legitimize their destructive actions, which ignited civil wars and caused bloodshed.

And because Qaradawi was the main incentive behind the destruction and bloodshed that Arab countries suffered by terrorist groups during the Arab Spring, therefore, it was only normal for him to be place on terrorists lists.

Moreover, it seems that Qaradawi realized that his takfiri and political role is over, especially after he was forced to resign from the so-called International Union of Muslim Scholars, so he figured out a way to stay under the spotlight, as he surprised everyone when he suddenly became a “religious reformer.”

Through this transformation, Qaradawi seeks to attract more young people, and then export them to terrorist groups and organizations for recruitment.

It is also pertinent to mention that Qaradawi exerted strenuous efforts in serving the Qatari regime and its Muslim Brotherhood arms in Arab countries. He made up numerous false claims to excommunicate Arab rulers, Sunni preachers who are against the Muslim Brotherhood, and Shiite clerics who object the actions of the Iranian regime.

Qaradawi also issued fatwas that legitimized the killing of Muslim clerics who did not agree with his ideology and support to terrorism, like Sheikh Mohamed Said Ramadan Al-Bouti of Syria, who was killed, along with 40 others, by a suicide bomber at the Iman mosque in Damascus.

Qaradawi’s fatwas also became the reference of many terrorist groups and organizations, but when these organizations, especially the Muslim Brotherhood, failed to claim any authority and then defeated in Libya, Egypt and Syria, and the boycott against Qatar, the main sponsor of the Muslim Brotherhood, ended his role.

His role as a Qatari weapon that sows discord and ignites the flames of terrorism all over the world has ended by the Qatari regime, especially after he cause troubles for Doha after his malicious role was exposed and it refused to turn him to justice to pay for the crimes he committed against millions of innocent people.

Qatar limited Qaradawi’s role and forced him to resign from the chairmanship of the International Union of Muslim Scholars to grant it to Ahmed al-Raysouni, who share the same ideology with his predecessor, as they both support extremist terrorist groups and legitimize their destructive actions.
